CANADA STOCKS-TSX slides more than 2 percent shortly after open

TORONTO, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell
sharply at the open on Tuesday as the latest round of
disappointing data out of China spurred more volatile trading in
global markets and helped sink energy stocks on the TSX.

Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index
gave up 314.07 points, or 2.27 percent, to trade at 13,545.05
shortly after the open. All 10 of the index's main groups were
mired in red, with energy falling 3.6 percent.
